Review | HD Brows Palette | prettylittlewriter

I have experimented with many different brands and products for my brows, from high-end brands such as Benefit and Estee Lauder, to high street brands like Maybelline. 
However, none of the products gave me quite enough definition and shading as I'd have liked.

That was until I decided to try out the HD Brows brand. The clue is in the name, their products promise to give you pigmented and 'HD' brows, and they certainly did not disappoint!

The product I purchased was the Eye & Brow Palette in the shade 003 Vamp.




The shade I mainly use is Dark Brown, however Medium Brown also works for my skin tone and hair colour. I apply the product with the thin end of the brush provided, and then pop the highlighter on my brow bone underneath. There is also a wax provided, however I have not tried this part of the product out yet.




As you can see, my brows are highly defined thanks to this product, and it matches my hair colour perfectly. It also adds a little extra 'oomph' to the slight arch of my brows. 

Overall I would highly recommend this to anyone searching for the perfect brow product, and £25 for the palette is great value as the shades last a very long time!

It can be purchased here

Have you tried out any HD Brows products? What have your experiences been?

Product Review | Benefit's Gimme Brow | prettylittlewriter

I thought I'd review the Benefit Gimme Brow product as I have been using it for the past few months and I don't know what I'd do without it!


I only really started filling in my brows when I started at University, two years ago. Before then I never thought I'd needed to, how wrong I was! 
I think over the past couple of years I have probably overplucked my eyebrows so they look slightly sparse without being filled in, which is why my make up is never complete without my eyebrows done.


As you can see there is a huge difference. My brows look much thicker and fuller. It also makes them a shade darker than my natural brow colour (I use Dark), which is much better as they match my hair colour more. 
One thing I will say it that when you first start using your fresh tube, it can be quite messy. I usually do my brows first before foundation as I end up having to wipe away excess and then reapply a little to my brows after foundation has been applied.

The only criticism is how small the tube is; it is easily misplaced in my make up bag. 
I did have my first tube for about 3 months before I needed to get a new one, and that was because it had dried up, so I'd say that it was quite long lasting!

Overall a brilliant product and I really don't know how I managed all those years without it!
